Arbëresh vs Sicilian vs Albanian (How Connected Are They?)
Albanian is a unique languages that occupies an independent branch within the Indo-European family. It is an official language in Albania, Kosovo, and North Macedonia, and has minority status in Italy, Romania, Montenegro, and Serbia. The Albanian language has a wide range of varieties, with two major groups of Gheg and Tosk. Within the Tosk group, Arbëresh is one of the five sub-dialects, with the other ones being Northern Tosk, Labërisht, Çam, and Arvanitika. Arbëresh (arbërisht) derives from a medieval variety of Tosk and retains many features of medieval Albanian. It is spoken by the Arbëreshë people in Italy.
In this video we'll take a look at how well a Sicilian and an Albanian speaker can work together as a team to understand Arbëresh.
Salvatore (Sicilian speaker) and Hazis (Albanian speaker) will listen to several sentences that Martin has put together in Arbëresh containing words that originate from both Albanian and Sicilian origin and try to guess the full meaning.
Tosk (toskë or toskërisht) is the basis of the standard Albanian language, with the major Tosk-speaking groups being the Myzeqars of Myzeqe, Labs of Labëria, Chams of Çamëria, Arvanites of Greece and the Arbëreshë of Italy. The Gheg variety (gegnisht) is spoken in northern and central Albania, Kosovo, northwestern North Macedonia, southeastern Montenegro and southern Serbia.

I appreciate the work you guys are doing for our language and culture, keep going my friends and thank you.
I'm italian and I didn't know about the existence of Arbëreshë people in Italy 😲 wow
Since Albanian yllirian Queen Teuta lost the war with Roman’s , Albanians continue mix with Italian culture for 13 centuries 1000-1300 years ! Albania to Italy shortest point is 80km (Vlora -Lecce) ! Ci divide il mare nostrum !!

Thank you fellas for the diligent work in exhibiting languages that humanity takes little to no notice of.
Thank you for this, Bahador. The more comprehensive videos with a language expert in them are often the best.
I really liked this video it was very entertaining and the guy who speak albanian is awesome.I learned a lot today even if im albanian myself.Great job.Well done
I'm a Brazilian Portuguese speaker and I understood almost half of the first sentence in Arbëresh. I couldn't completely get it but some words felt familiar enough to get an idea of what he was talking about. Sicilian was easier but it's definitely different from Italian and I wasn't expecting that since I had never heard of it until I clicked the video. Albanian is just hard lol but it probably has some words borrowed from Latin I guess so I can understand ~some words~ but not an entire sentence. Pretty cool video
Very interesting video that dives into some deep connections.
Sa bukur!! Beautiful 💖💖💖
Really cool to know about the Sicilian language and this fascinating connection.
Thank God there is someone out there the understands the difference between ‘Albanian’ and ‘Albanic’, and showcases it in an educative and entertaining way! As a comparative historical linguistic in training and enthusiast, I feel it’s imperative and very interesting to clearly display these differences visually so we can understand and appreciate these languages. Good work and keep on doing whatcha do :)
Thank you Christopher
I've had similar problems with Turkic vs Turkish and Italic vs Italian. The former being especially controversial, with people unaware of the difference, or at least the fact that English uses the term "Turkic".
Albanic don’t exist. Cuz arberesh is not an official language. Modern albanian came from arberesh without the Italian mix
@@albdrill that’s wrong. Arberesh is an official language of Italy
This is so cool!
Very enlightening video with great in-depth knowledge that any language and history fan would greatly relish
Thanks Martin
This is a good project for combining of historical and linguistic knowledge. I am feeling blessed that I visited the beautiful country of Albania 🇦🇱❤️🇮🇳
Well done 👏 ✔ great, we can see link in language.
What a great way to explain where we are with our language! It is fun, clear, and didactic. I hope this paves the way toward the rehabilitation of Arbëresh. There is nothing wrong with mixing up languages when different peoples with different cultures, traditions, and languages meet and live together for centuries. There is no other possible result. We must take care of this language, take care of it and be extremely proud. Thanks, Martín Di Maggio for your great job!
Thank you Lidia and thank you to Bahador for the platform
Good to know about the Albanian language
Arbëria sas a principality ruled by the native Progoni family, and the first Albanian state to emerge in recorded history. The principality was established in 1190 by the native archon Progon in the region surrounding Kruja, to the east and northeast of Venetian territories. Progon was succeeded by his sons Gjin and then Demetrius (Dhimitër), who managed to retain a considerable degree of autonomy from the Byzantine Empire.
This is very interesting because you can see the history unfold before your eyes.

Wonder if it would be a possibility to bring Achomi language
Kleu - "ishte" or "qe" depending on verb conjugation and mood ( dont remember wich tense ). Stil in use today in diferent phonetics though. And for God sake what does it mean "we dont use vum but vendos", it is past tense first person plural of the same verb "vendos".
"vendos" and "vë" are two synonyms with exactly the same meaning. unë vura, ti vure, ai vuri, ne vumë, ju vutë ata vunë. "vendos" has its own conjugation. However "vë" is a bit dialectic and the guy maybe was not familiar with it.
I speak Spanish but oh how I wish Albanian was a little more understandable it’s an awesome language
There's some good news. There's at least one word as far as I know, which is very similar to Spanish. It comes from the Albanian Gheg/Northern dialect, which has been said to be the oldest dialect. The word: Chica in Spanish means Girl, In Albanian Gheg/Northern Dialect one of the words they use for Girl/Daughter is Çikë/Çika and it's pronounced similar. So, now you can say that you know at least one Albanian word, which is in Spanish as well. 😁

Sicilian is a weird one because I don’t think there can be a Sicilian language because we have different dialects and words between ourselves for example someone from Messina might use different words and accent to someone from Palermo it’s maybe similar but not exactly the same.. Anyway good show very interesting.
It would be interesting to have people from Italy who speak Croatian dialect as well as people from Austria with their version of Croatian. Those dialects have been separated for the centuries from Croatian proper.

This is because they are Indo-European languages. Evlija Celebi, an Ottoman traveler who visited Albania in the 17th century, expressed his surprise at the presence of many Persian words he heard, he noticed the same thing in Austria. The Albanian language is considered one of the most conservative languages along with Greek, Sardinian, Armenian, etc.
@rudinalabaku431 interesting can u say example of that
In Arberia, Demetrius was the last of Progon family to rule. He considered conversion to Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy for the first time in order to obtain support against his Venetian rivals. This would certainly have been the correct move.
Kleu, ka le në Skrapar që përdorët në fshatra(katune)të Kosovës ose ka lindur në Skrapar.
Do Arberesh view themselves as Albanian or Italian ? Or distinct from both ?
Italian
The word - But - is equal to - Ma - in Italian and - Por - in Albanian , however in Albania we also have - Amo -, or - Ama - , which also means the same thing = But. a) - Un jetoj n’Berlin, amo jom Njujorkeze . (This is Southern Gheg dialect = Tirana) b) - Unë jetoj në Vjenë, por jam Njujorkeze. (This is a standart Albanian) c) - I live in Vienna, but I’m a New Yorker .

Can an Italian speaker understand Sicilian?
He can pick up a lot of words but he need to get used to it in order to understand it
Not very
In south Italy, there are two big family of dialects : dialects born by sicilian and dialects born by napolitan. The first are speaking in Sicily , south Calabria and south Puglia; and the second are speaking in the other part of south Italy. Normally also in the part that are speaking the napolitan dialects can understand sicilian, but not all the words. In other part of Italy can understand some words of sicilian but less than in south Italy.
My conclusion is that the Averaging and modern Albanians can barely understand each other , still this was great
Yes exactly
Not really, it's a shame but young Albanians don't really know albanian nowdays...
Well I’m Albanian and I grew up by my grandmother and I understood the arberesh perfectly except by Sicilian words (anyway I understood all as I live in Italy and I know Italian) as Alampu - strange Italian guy didn’t understood that as “a lampo” is fast as a thunder 😅… anyway the guy used the modern Albanian but if he was more in normal talking random people strange he didn’t catch all immediately… anyway just saying
Sicilian is romance dialect- language, while arbresh isn't. And it doesnt matter if they use some latin words because words or the names of some objects are not the language! Example. Maltese language has about 50% of italian sicilian words but that doesnt make it a romance language. Maltese language is only semituc language in Europe, and its mutualy inteligiable with arab language.

Albanian is the mother of all languages, especially Gheg dialect. It can decipher the symbols - God's language and other languages. When you compare Sanskrit and Albanian, they are very similar, but Albanian is more powerful and lives today. Latin and old Greek languages can be easy deciphered from Albanian language too. These languages are dead today. Ask why? References: "Albanian and Sanskrit" by Petro Zheji, " The mesianic role of the Albanian Language" by Petro Zheji, "The Enigma" by Robert D'Angely, "Thoth spoke Albanian" by Giuseppe Catapano. Other References: Bopp, Johan Georg von Hahn, Holger Pedersen, Benloew, Joseph Ritter von Xylander, Stier, Schneider, Rozny, Georgiev, Majami, Robert Elsie, Lambert, Haarmann.
😂 bull shit "The language of the Albanians is unformed and adulterated. In many areas Italian elements have been incorporated into the language, in others Greek and in others Slavonic. Therefore Albanians who live fifty or sixty miles apart do not understand each other. In addition, there are racial differences between the Gegs who live in the wild north and the Tosks in the less rugged south. One would say that they belong to different ethnicities. And indeed this is the case. It would be easy to prove that the Albanians are not one people but half a dozen peoples.. They are the descendants of desperate races who lived defiantly and outside the law and were not exterminated or assimilated by the conqueror but maintained their independence blocked by the "fortress" of the Albanian mountains." (Sir James George Frazer, p. 257-258)

I met an Albanian women and her daughter who was referring to herself as "Nonna" when talking with her grandchildren. I assumed that she was Italian, but she told me she was from Kosovo and spoke Albanian, but I'm confused because "Grandmother" in Albanian does not translate to "Nonna".
In the Gheg dialect (which is the dialect used in Kosovo as well) they refer to the grandmother as “nona” or in some other nothern regions “nana”. In the Tosk dialect (that is spoken in southern Albania) they refer to the grandmother as “nëna”. These are also terms that could be used to refer to your mother especially in north Albania. However in southern Albania, we mostly refer to our mothers as “mami”.
